Lisa’s Blog: 1st Night of Recovery
March 8th, 2010
My surgery is over and I’m happy to be home and on the road to recovery, although I look miserable in this photo!
The first night of surgery went pretty well. I took my pain medication and stayed on top of that. I do have to say; I was counting down the hours till morning to take out the drains. What a relief to get them out. It’s not that the drains caused pain, but they were just uncomfortable. I awoke to a sore throat. I believe it was from mouth breathing throughout the night and from having the breathing tube down my throat during surgery. Tylenol gave me relief from the sore throat and drinking a lot of water helped, too.
Check back next time to follow my recovery.

Here are some of my thoughts on my upcoming Rhinoplasty surgery. As I mentioned already, after considering surgery on my nose for the past 10 years, I am really excited that the time is drawing nearer!
I’ve been busy preparing for surgery over the past month or so. I was instructed to see my internal medicine doctor 2 weeks before the procedure.
I needed to make sure I was healthy and up-to-date on all my blood work. I felt really good after my appointment, having the support of my doctor to have the surgery.
